ScrCnv

About

ScrCnv is a tool for automatic conversion of Soldat screenshots.

This app is not the first try to make an automated screenshots conversion tool for Soldat (take a look at Soldat Screenshot Converter by Toumaz), but it has a list of advantages:

• it doesn’t require renaming of Soldat.exe
• it doesn’t require administrator permissions
• it doesn’t require .Net Framework
• it doesn’t overwrite recently saved screenshots

Features

• “On-the-fly” screenshots conversion, right after they have been taken
• Force displaying of scoreboard (“F1 menu”) at the end of the match^*
• With “Delete” option enabled original screenshot files wouldn’t even be written to the disk (i.e. to conserve the use of your HDD/SSD)
• With “SmartDeletion” feature you are able to prevent saving endgame screenshots of unwanted maps and/or after map restarts
• With “SmartRenaming” feature you are able to structurize your screenshot files/folders in various ways
• Up to 35% better 24-bit PNG compression level (compared with current Soldat’s encoder)
• 8-bit PNG encoding (with optional dithering)
• Fast access to the most important folders (Soldat, \screns, \demos, \profiles)
• Run any *.exe file (except of Soldat.exe and unins####.exe) via the tray menu
• Close Soldat via the tray menu
• App’s tray menu is integrated with Soldat’s tray icon (click [Right Mouse Button] to show it)
• Auto-launch with Soldat

^* For now, “ForceF1” feature doesn’t work when match ends because of points limit in non-team based game modes (DM, PM & RM)
